model showcase: Vo-Tan artfight attack @hallowedhart

Breakdown:

Prep (model turn around and base): ~2 hours

Base Sculpt: ~4 hours

Retopologizing: ~13 hours

Painting and texturing: ~27 hours

Rigging: ~ 2 hours

Scene setup: ~1 hour

Animating: ~2 hours

Rendering: 4.5 hours

Vo-Tan was unreasonably difficult to texture. Apparently centaurs do NOT appreciate UV unmapping. In the end I used smart UV unwrapping because after over 20 hours of baking, rebaking, repainting, and rebaking i finally took it as a sign from the blender god. For that reason this model isn't really professional grade and has a lot of artifacts even after hand touching up the normals In the future I'll look in to splitting in to multiple UVs.

Final sculpt: ~1 million verts Riggable base: ~5,000 verts

Thank you to all my friends who put up with my entire process on discord, all my brain dead nights, and all my lame ass shenanigans. Without you guys I wouldn't have even had the confidence to attempt a blender journey. Thank you

attacking stinky pookies @cyliph @ladyb0ss for art fight 2025

art fight!

victim: @searsage's Atlas time: ~30 hours fully sculpted, rigged, textured, and animated (more below the cut)

up close you can better see the opalescence on his skin and the wings, they were made using by assigning angles of the normal map to glossy shaders, then mixing them with a pointiness map (skin) or image texture (wings). they change in response to the position you're looking from. its really cool in the viewport-- and totally worth the ten ish hours i wasted on texturing alone lol

they look more dragon-fly ish than atlas' actual wings, but i couldn't get the subtle iridescence I was looking for and loved how it caught the light,,, please forgive me.

Some draw backs to the model: - Only the bust is properly retopologized, which is mostly fine because only the bust needed mesh deformation. Parenting parts to each bone saves time weight painting and is far more performant. BUT, this is not optimized and would probably crash vr chat - The antenna are on a simple rig that doesnt allow for lots of bendy. This was mostly just because they were pissing me off and i didnt want to IK. - Hair is parented to the bone, and does not deform naturally or wiggle. - Because of opalescence the materials favor a peachy color, so blue light works better to make him the proper white - I fucked up the center of mass when rigging - No tongue :( I had to pick my battles and mouth bag deformation was not one of them

(all of these things can be corrected with more time, but 30 hour is unfortunately my patience limit)

Some perks that you cant really see: - This model has an amazing range of motion - Eyes can squint actually really well - Neck motion is smooth and expressive - Eyes are double layered to simulate a cornea - There is a bone to control the crest :] - Fur is removable!

hope you enjoy! And I hope everyone is having a wonderful artfight
